Finally ./configure make and make install worked after installation of the
ffmpg-devel rpm.
I configured 2 webcams, a usb logitech ( with the pwc driver) and an axis 206
network camera.
I added to threadx.conf files and started motion.
It starts but after one or 2 minutes stops
I disabled the network camera because old motion worked with the logitech usb
camera.
But still same problem
My console logs tells me something like
Badness in usb_unlink_urb at drivers/usb/core.c at 457
Any ideas ?
my config files are attached in case of interest

I just downloaded another Linux open-source project, plutohome.org
On their commercial site (plutohome.com) you see all these pictures of homeowners being able to monitor and control their home using a mobile phone. They've got a lot of their own code (all open source), but their video capture is being done by motion. Asterisk is the phone system, Xine and VLC are the media engine.
There are some nice projects for motion to view archived video history which aren't integrated into plutohome. But somebody should look into it, it's a great application for motion.
